Poet Allen Tate
To Speak Here
At Convocation
Minnesota's most distinguished
man of letters, Allen Tate of the
University of Minnesota, will speak
here tomorrow, April 1, at 10:00
in the Fieldhouse. The event is
being sponsored by the Coeval
and the Convocation Committee.
Poet, author, lecturer Tate was
named to the American Academy
of Arts and Letters and will be
inducted this May along with sev-eral
other artists.
In an article in the Minneapolis
Tribune Tate said of himself, "I
am out of tune with the times.
I always have been. I find most
of the leading ideas of our time
disagreeable—the secularization of
religion, the decline of local auto-nomy,
the decay of the family as
man's social unit."
His most famous poem is "Ode
to the Confederate Dead". A book
of his poems, Poems of Tate, is
on sale in the bookstore.

A former broadway production
by Lenore and William J. Cowen,
Halleen also began conducting
pre-season Football Training Camps
in Wisconsin each fall—an event
unique to Bethel in the Twin
Cities area.
Halleen came to Bethel from
a teaching position in Elsinore,
California, after completing his
B.S. in physical education at
Wheaton College in 1956. He
received his M.Ed. from the Uni-versity
of Illinois in 1957.
__ In resigning, Coach Halleen ex-pressed
his appreciation to the
student body and faculty for their
encouragement in building Bethel's
football team to its present posi-tion
and requests the same loyal-ty
for the new coach, especially
during the difficult transition per-iod.

vernacular. It encompasses the
last three years of the life of
Christ, plus a final scene which
takes place several years after
the crucifixtion.
Family Portrait is the major
spring production of the drama
department and will play April 1,
2 and 3 in the college auditorium.
Cast in the leading roles are Con-nie
Oosterbaan as Mary the mother
of Jesus, Janet Applequist as Mary
Cleophas, T. Harrison Bryant as
Judas, Roger Waldenstrom as Rob-bi,
and Jill Graham as Hepzipahis.
Tickets are already on sale in
the coffee shop, $1.00 per stu-dent
with a special rate of $1.75

by Roft as the best night
for students to plan to see the
play.
Friday night is the Koffee Kup
game between senate and faculty,
and Saturday night there will be
"standing room only," as reserva-tions
have already been made by
some of the local churches.
Owen Halleen Resigns
As Head Football Coach
Owen Halleen, Head Football Coach at Bethel College since the
fall of 1960, has resigned to give concentrated attention to his doctoral
program at the University of Minnesota.
He will return to Bethel as a full time faculty member (he has
officially been on leave from teaching duties for the last two years)
through the accepttance of a teaching and counseling position in the
Student Affairs Office next fall. These steps are part of Halleen's overall
plans to leave the field of physical education and enter psychology and
education.
Halleen's action was precipitated by the academic burden of his
graduate program and an unresolvable scheduling conflict between
necessary classes and football practices and game times.
The popular coach leaves an equally impressive record both on and
oif the gridiron in building the Royals to a football power. His teams
accumulated a record of twenty-seven wins and fourteen losses over
the five year period, with twenty-one of the wins coming in the last
twenty-five games.
Yet, Halleen is the first to recognize the catalytic nature of his
coaching: "Our win-loss record is only a means to the end of building
solid Christian gentlemen."
He reminisced to the fail of 1962 as "the year we built so many
things — spirit, self-respect, and an enthusiasm for winning. The 1962
club won without the ability and tradition of winning."
Halleen's teams quickly came to dominate the newly formed Pioneer
Conference, winning the championship each of the first two years.
The Royals' national image became more visible with numerous indi-vidual
awards, Ray Sheppard received the Williamson Poll's Little All
American Honorable Mention Award at tackle the fall of 1961.
Jim Nelson followed with an Honorable Mention and then a first
team berth at fullback the following season. Duane Gibson of last
season's club was named to a First Team end spot in the National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics District 13 ratings.
He attributes much of his teams' success to the dedication and
hard work of his assistant coaches: Philip Carlson, Dave Cox, Bob
Smith, Stu Luckman, Jim Nelson, Ray Sheppard, and Paul Evan. Many
of these were former players who stayed on after their career.

Fahs Views Implications
Of Recent Love Seminars
by Dr. Ivan Fahs
Dr. Fahs, Associate Professor of Sociology at Bethel College,
was one of the faculty leaders in the recent Sex, Love and Marriage
discussions held Monday evenings during March.
Possibly the most heartening thing about the recent semi-nar
series, "Sex, Love and Marriage," is the fact that it was
student-initiated. The planning committee started early, at-tempted
some plans which eventually did not materialize, co-ordinated
items with the CLARION; coordinated still more
with the Book Store, with the print shop, housemothers, pro-fessors
and other relevant campus personnel. Ron Nelson and
Dick Schultz, who did the lion's share of the work, deserve
our thanks.
Student life at Bethel is latently concerned with romance
and its implications. Given Bethel's hesitancy to become in-volved
in the morass of legalism (we do not require boys and
girls to be chaperoned while they play ping-pong), students of
a romantic turn are left with a fair amount of personal freedom.
Are Bethel students responsible in using this freedom?
When any community has a minimum of legality, values
are ordinarily dependent on the quality of people who live
together. Clearly, at Bethel each community member has
a Christ-given quality of goodness not his own. At least the
Admissions Committee is supposed to give entrance only
to those who know Christ in a personal way.
The intriguing possibility of one thousand plus people
living together as Christ would have them to live is the ideal
of the Bethel community — intriguing, if utopian. The potential
to be a Christian community is still here.
On the side of realism, however, Bethel community mem-bers
are healthy, red-blooded humans whose glands are every
bit as urgent as those in any homo sapiens. As much as we
would like to believe that Friday night dates are utilized dis-cussing
creative ways of implementing Christ's Great Com-mission
or what C. Wright Mill's White Collar means for the
Christian, we must reckon with courtship as a time when young
men and women are exploring each other as prospective mar-riage
partners — who's kidding whom?
In such a crucial relationship there are imponderables,
mysteries, frustrations; there is personal fulfillment, satis-faction,
and praise to God. The Bethel student has freedom
to commit sin on the one hand and the freedom to find a
love relationship which is righteous and fine on the other.
If the seminars sensitized us to these realities and if they
urged Bethel students to draw on Christ's strength, then they
have helped us find a more excellent way.
Contemporary Seminary Instruction
Focuses on Expanding World Needs
by J. David Patterson
The desert, burning, scorched by
the blistering rays of the sun
couldn't be drier than Monday's
student senate meeting.
In keeping with the metaphor,
a few drops of moisture were seen
in the form of a motion by Bill
Madsen calling for a committee
to regulate the scheduling of cam-pus
events, a report on the library
Dear Editor:
Recently there has been some
discussion among students as to
the value of the "counseling ser-vices"
here at Bethel. Here, for
what it may be worth, is my own
opinion: We need a clearly-defined
counseling center, whose rights and
limitations are established a n d
whose personnel are individuals
demonstrably qualified to deal with
personal problems in the context
of adequate time and proper set-ting.
I will not deny that the present
"catch-as-catch-can" counseling has
had some real value in certain
given instances. Yet much i m -
provement is desperately called
for. Yes, we see much dedicated
and warm-hearted effort on the
part of present personnel in their
dealings with students' problems.
Yet there is a lack, a lack felt
among students very widely, of
any real place to take on e's
situation and a comment by Dr.
Dalton just before adjournment.
Madsen's motion allows for the
instituting of a joint student-facul-ty
committee consisting of repre-sentatives
from the drama, music,
and athletic departments, the cam-pus
pastor, the Senate's campus co-ordinator
and an administration,
representative who shall chair the
committee. According to the
troubles. When campus aid is
sought, it is often done so in a
spirit of caution—due to scholastic
administrational cons iderations,
religious implications present in
certain problems, etc. And this
"puts the squelch" on the coun-seling
done in many instances.
I cannot, for the sake of persons
involved, illustrate this lack in
terms of specific instances where
inadequate or superficial counsel
has merely aggravated a problem,
driven a student into that heinous
sin of hypocrisy, or had no effect
whatever. I am thus wide open to
charges of shooting off my mouth;
and this is OK. Perhaps the value
of this lir note is not so much
that it speaks the final truth ex
cathedra, but rather that it points
up an issue which should be given
its due attention. What do other
Bethelites think about this?
Sincerely,
Edward M. Holden
by Dr. Gordon Johnson
The Dean of Bethel Seminary
concludes a series of three ar-ticles
in preparation for the Col-lege
Conference on the Ministry,
April 8-9.
Our world is an exploding world.
That is true in many areas of life.
We have seen exploding expansion
in most areas of knowledge and
production that is utterly fantastic
within the lifetime of each of us.
In the areas of industrial produc-tion,
scientific discovery and philo-sophical
ideas, advances have been
so phenomenal as to leave u s
breathless. The world is also ex-ploding
in the tensions of inter-national
strife and in domestic
misunderstanding, distrust a n d
violence. Another obvious area of
explosion is in the multiplying
growth of population, while still
a further one is in the increasing
prevalence of personality malad-justment.
It is in this kind of world that
seminary training is crucial. It is
here that we study the "Word of
God" in its broadest sense. And
that is what this exploding world
needs. God has spoken and desires
to continue to speak. He has acted
and desires to continue to act. His
speaking and His acting must be
through the meditation of men who
understand His Word and H i s
world. That is the task of the
Seminary.
Seminary training is desperately
relevant because it majors in pre-paring
better men rather than dis-seminating
better methods. T h e
significant accomplishments in his-tory
have always been dependent
on the work of capable persons.
Whenever God has acted in the
history of mankind for man's bene-fit,
He has done so through well
prepared and dedicated men. In
motion the committee will be re-sponsible
for the scheduling of all
campus events and will draw up
whatever policies for this schedul-ing
that it deems necessary. The
committee will also act as an
arbitrator in all conflicts in sched-uling
including both room reserva-tion
and calendar dates. After a
small amount of clarification the
motion was passed.
David Johnson presented his re-port
concerning problems in the
library. Johnson pointed out that
there were three areas in which
the problems existed: loud talking,
library being understaffed a n d
theft of books. Dr. Fagerstrom was
consulted in the matter and ex-plained
that the staff is willing
to use high school discipline mea-sures
if necessary but would choose
to allow the students to handle this
problem, hopefully by being quiter.
Fagerstrom went on to say that
new staff members were being
added and the theft problem was
not that severe. Johnson recom-mended
that the senate not take
any action.
Dr. Dalton asked if the off the
record portion of the meeting
couldn't be put in the minutes
since some of the most significant
discussion comes at this time. This
is worth noting, senators.
the light of this the Seminary has
prepared its curriculum, chooses
its faculty and conducts its pro-gram.
The curriculum is built on the
basis of two-thirds core or required
courses and one-third advanced
level courses. The core courses are
well-balanced among three major
divisions of Seminary study:
Sources or biblical studies, Inter-pretation
or theological and his-torical
studies, and Application or
the practical fields. That balance
helps students face the vital ques-tions
related to the Bible, "What
did it mean when it was given?"
and "What does it mean for us
today?" The gap between those
two questions must be bridged be-fore
we can have a relevant Word
from God. Seminary studies aid
men to bridge that significant gap.
Advance studies are then taken
with the interests of the student
in mind. A man may major in one
of six deparments: the Biblical,
Old Testament, New Testament,
Historical - Theological, Religious
Education or Preaching. Within
the Historical-Theological a man
may place strong emphasis o n
course work in Missions. Each man

Concern Over Red Influence
T h e Johnson administration,
deeply engaged in a struggle with
the Ku Klux Klan and other segre-gationist
forces, is at the same

special interests and abilities. In
order for a man to be best pre-pared
to be "the man of God"
communicating a relevant Word
from God in our exploding world,
his God-given interests and abili-ties
must be developed to the
fullest extent. The Seminary cur-riculum
provides for that.
But that is not all. The pedago-gical
methods that are emerging
in Seminary training, as well as
the facilities on the new campus,
are such as to develop the self-reliant
student. The individual re-search
and study possibilities as
well as the community life with
every possibility of stimulating in-teraction
and dialogue will aid a
man to become a significant wit-ness
for Jesus Christ in a world
that desperately needs to hear the
Good News. That self-reliance, in
the good sense of dependence up-on
the Lord for the proper use of
God-given ability, is further en-hanced
by a well planned and
supervised field education pro-gram.

CLARION do not
ion of the college
Following is a partial text of the convocation
address delivered by Lynn Kastner, director of
the Minnesota branch of the American Civil Liber-ties
Union on Friday, March 19.
Much of the social ferment, litigation and contro-versy
throughout our hisory and especially today
centers around the question—whose constitutional
rights are these? Should an atheist have freedom
from belief? Does the dope peddler or a murderer
have the right to suppress an illegal confession? Does
a Communist or an anarchist or a Nazi have the
right to express his views publicly? These questions
cause the most sincere to shrink from defending
the principles in our Bill of Rights and cause many
others who are sincere to attack these very principles
in the Bill of Rights.
In the areas of our country where segregation
and discrimination of minority groups and persons
are in the open and entrenched in the law, citizens
and officials recoil from the exercise of these basic
rights of minority groups.
1 he Civil Rights Revolution not only confronts
white Americans with their attitudes but also
tests and brings into focus our constitutional free-doms.
Many people today express impatience with
the means and methods of protest and many more
view this revolution solely through the events of
recent months and years. These people may not re-member
the fact that slavery was a legal institution
in this country for 72 years after the ratification
of the Bill of Rights.
During these years our law and courts considered
the Negro a chattel and enforced against him the
property rights of his masters. Our American heritage
of public protest is a fitting background from which
to evaluate the recent events. The Declaration of
Independence reminds us that this nation came into
being as an active protest against discriminatory
treatment of the colonies by the British government.
It is not surprising, then, that we find through-out
our turbulent history numerous examples of
public and even violent protest either against govern-mental
action or to achieve the creation of new
public policy. The formation of a government of the
United States followed such public protest as the
Boston Tea Party and those of earlier movements in
Virginia and the Carolinas.
As we all know, the 1954 decision in the school
segregation cases, Brown vs, Board of Education in
1954, marked the beginning of the protests currently
developing. The many other cases, striking out of
our institutions of society the legal foundations of
segregation and discrimination and the building
of a sound legal foundation of equal opportunity
and justice in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and,
hopefully, in the voting act of 1965 and executive
action to the same end has insured that the march
of progress toward equal opportunity will not stop
again until it is fully realized by all of our citizens.
With this history the courts have had a wealth
of experience and opportunity to define the protected
and proscribed limits of public protest within the
freedom of expression protected by the First Amend-ment.
— However, it is also important to realize
that the right to public assembly may be regulated
to protect substantial rights and not just to avoid in-convenience.
So police or other officials may not
prohibit assembly just to avoid public unrest or
even violent opposition.
We must remember that not. all bystanders are
innocent and many who gather at the site of civil
rights assembly or protest gather for the purpose
of opposition. The police and officials then have
an affirmative duty to protect those engaged in
lawful protest.
In such demonstrations and other forms of public
protest, the question of responsibility becomes
quite clear. That they are in the pursuit of freedom
there is little debate. The bounds of protected
activity are the limits within which participants
can act responsibly. The fact that such demonstra-tions
have most often occurred in areas where
freedom is denied explains many of the cases
dealing with the failure of the public and police
officials to meet their responsibilities in a free
society.

will be held next week. On
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday
evenings Bethel graduates from a

The sessions, arranged by the
Alumni Association, are open to
all. Last year the program was
directed toward upperclassmen and
others who had already made de-finite

discussions are directed toward
two types of students: those who
have chosen a major and are seek-ing
information concerning oppor-tunities,
advantages, disadvantages,
qualifications, educational require-ments,
etc., and those seeking gen-eral
knowledge about a particular
field as a career possibility.
The program was enthusiastical-ly
received after its inception last
year. Students indicated their ap-preciation
for an opportunity to
personally discuss vocational goals
with someone in their chosen
profession. The doctors who at-tended
felt the session worthwhile
enough to schedule a subsequent
social gathering for Bethel pre-med
students.
The format of the program is an
informal discussion type. It will
fulfill a twofold objective by pro-viding
counseling services and by
acquainting students with the alum-ni
and some of its members. Res-ervations
for the alumni counsel-ing
sessions should be made with
Dwight Jessup in the Public Re-lations
office.

This certaintly is true in Selma,
Alabama. Here the failure of the
police to abide by the existing
constitutional standard and guar-antee
protection to the demon-strators
is clearly an example.
We must remember that many
of the situations where public pro-test
have exceeded the bounds of
protected activity were preceeded
by a pattern of denial of freedom
which lawful demonstrations or
other legal actions have failed to
alleviate.
The radical right openly attacks
the Bill of Rights in many in-stances.
Open attack is open dis-cussion,
and open discussion can
call for the dialogue which we
need and which we will be called
upon every day in some way to
defend the Bill of Rights. So this
is not our greatest threat. These
rights cannot be voted upon; al-though
they can, if enough votes
are gained.
But they cannot be voted upon
in an ordinary sense, although we
have seen in our legislative halls
the first attempt in history, recent-ly,
to amend the Bill of Rights.
No, I think the greatest threat
comes from not knowing what our
rights are and not exercising them
when they are threatened.

Each Spring the Koffee Kup
basketball game is played to bene-fit
Bethel students participating
in the Minnesota Project for Amity
among Nations (SPAN). This sum-mer
some fifty SPAN'ers from ten
Minnesota colleges will visit Chile,
Yugoslavia, Egypt and Thailand,
largely as a result of similar stu-dent
fund-raising activities around
the state.
SPAN groups, usually composed
of twelve to fifteen undergradu-ates
plus a faculty advisor, spend
eight to ten weeks in their coun-try
living with native families,
interviewing officials and gather-ing
research data. Upon their re-turn
to the States, SPAN'ers spend
seven months writing a lengthy
thesis on the basis of information
and experiences gleaned abroad.
Bethel College has one SPAN'er
this year, Bill Swenson, junior
social science major who will
visit Thailand for ten weeks dur-ing
the summer. Joan McNaugh-ton,
Bethel alumna of the Class
of 1964, and David Beck pre-the
CLARION Page3
• •
ceded him to Finland and India
respectively, since Bethel joined
the program in 1962.
Beck, junior political science ma-jor,
is now in India researching
a project on village life in a nine-month
program sponsored by the
University of Wisconsin. He will
complete a SPAN-length paper as
well as requirements for the B.S.
degree upon his return to Bethel
this fall.
Swenson, present editor of the
CLARION, will research a thesis
on government and communica-tions
while in Bangkok. He will
travel with other SPAN'ers through
Europe and the Middle East to
complete a world trip before re-turning
for the fall semester.
The twelve Thailand SPAN'ers
were selected from eight Minne-sota
colleges and universities in
April of 1964. They have been
meeting i n weekly seminars
throughout the academic year
under the guidance of Reidar
Dittmann, faculty advisor from
St. Olaf College, for advance stu-dy
in Thai language, history, and
culture. The SPAN Office is
presently planning to mold the
experiences of the Thailand
SPAN'ers into its first 16 mm
color film for educational and
publicity purposes.
The purpose of the SPAN organi-zation
is to contribute to interna-tional
understanding through spon-sorship
of individual research pro-jects
and international living. The
motto of the group reflects well
this goal: "It is better to light one
candle than curse the darkness."

Views Interpretation of Bill of Rights TZlear 213titp
The Christian faith is a religion of personal commitment. In
somewhat the manner that a woman is committed to a man in marriage,
the Christian is committed to Jesus Christ. And in our western society,
a woman makes a very personal decision to commit herself in love to
a certain man. And whatever these may be, the woman has very impor-tant
reasons for this decision.
The Apostle Peter says that we should be prepared to give a reason
for our faith. Pressed for reasons, a woman may give many and varied
reasons, or she may simply say, "I love him." But, either way she
always will say she loves him. Now, really, do we love Jesus Christ?
Let us apply this question to our relation with our denomination.
We are Conference Baptists (or CMA., Evangelical Free, etc. You apply
whichever tag is attached to you). Now, most of us, if honest, would
have to state that we are Conference Baptists because our parents
were Conference Baptists, although a thorough study of the New
Testament would lead one to believe that this is not quite the type
of reason the Apostle had in mind.
Our tradition is one that emphasizes individuality. We proclaim
that each person must make his own decision to commit himself to
Christ. But if we examine ourselves, we find that our churches give
years of rigid training. We baptize hundreds of children and teenagers
because, somehow it's the thing to do. This baptism results in a mildly
changed person, who, because of family and church, is able to function
as a "Christian." But, any radical change, any personal stance against
the evils of our culture is rare.
Oh, we often stop dancing and smoking, and drinking is always
out. But is it because we love this person Jesus Christ? Come on,
let's face facts, and let's try to get the older generation fo face
facts. It's because we were told not to do these things, and most of us
never really were tempted otherwise, that is, while we are at home.
And most of us never really thought much about "loving" Jesus Christ.
Maybe teenage Evangelicals should be presented with a choice,
not only between Christianity and non-Christian positions, but be-tween
the various forms of Christianity. Of course, this can never
happen, but we might consider lowering the voice with which we
proclaim freedom of choice and castigate those who readily receive
the children of the church.
Maybe we need to search the Scriptures and confirm our earlier
decision. We are older now, and need a more mature concern about
the meaning of Christian faith.

The state tourney basketball fever ran rampant throughout
the state as the final eight teams crowded into Williams Arena for
the semifinals. The first upset came as Bemidji knocked off ranked
Henning, but from then on Thursday's action was not unusual. Luverne
downed St. Paul Central (much to Webster Muck's chagrin), Faribault
beat Virginia City, and the oddsmakers' favorite son candidate, Minne-tonka,
knocked off Franklin.
The Wrecked Room in Edgren Dormitory bulged with well over
one hundred students on Thursday and Friday, practically all of whom
were bugged with "under-dog" fever. Psychologists often struggle with
this concept, but it was evident that all the rooters around the boob-tube
were pulling for upsets for no special reason. "Ah, I just like to
see the little schools win." "Look how short they are, compared to those
other big lugs." "City schools win the championship? Never."
The anti-climactic action (?) of the final game was a sad dis-illusionment
until Minnetonka emerged the victor. Instead of one's
mind rejoicing in the victory, thoughts were nostalgically turned back
to all the teams that lost along the way, and particularly to those teams
that were great, but simply had a cold night: Luverne, St. Paul Centra,
Wilmar, and others come to the fore. Certainly, if an elimination system
which would give teams a second chance could be worked out, the result
would be a better caliber of ball in the final games.
Times, scheduling, etc. make such a proposition impossible. But there
are still a few of us ancient cronies, sitting around clicking our dentures,
who remember when our old high school team was beat out by a spirited,
less able team, only later to get mauled by a team our school had
beaten by thirty points twice during the regular season.
Another point in fact is that the consolation games should be omit-ted
and in their stead, equal trophies should be presented to the
third and fourth place teams. This procedure would eliminate the
necessity of an athlete playing a half-hearted game. Luverne and St.
Paul Central, two excellent ball clubs, were simply a disappointment
in the consolation games — as were their opponents.

Poet Allen Tate
To Speak Here
At Convocation
Minnesota's most distinguished
man of letters, Allen Tate of the
University of Minnesota, will speak
here tomorrow, April 1, at 10:00
in the Fieldhouse. The event is
being sponsored by the Coeval

In an article in the Minneapolis
Tribune Tate said of himself, "I
am out of tune with the times.
I always have been. I find most
of the leading ideas of our time
disagreeable—the secularization of
religion, the decline of local auto-nomy,
the decay of the family as
man's social unit."
His most famous poem is "Ode
to the Confederate Dead". A book
of his poems, Poems of Tate, is
on sale in the bookstore.

Owen Halleen Resigns
As Head Football Coach
Owen Halleen, Head Football Coach at Bethel College since the
fall of 1960, has resigned to give concentrated attention to his doctoral
program at the University of Minnesota.
He will return to Bethel as a full time faculty member (he has
officially been on leave from teaching duties for the last two years)
through the accepttance of a teaching and counseling position in the
Student Affairs Office next fall. These steps are part of Halleen's overall
plans to leave the field of physical education and enter psychology and
education.
Halleen's action was precipitated by the academic burden of his
graduate program and an unresolvable scheduling conflict between
necessary classes and football practices and game times.
The popular coach leaves an equally impressive record both on and
oif the gridiron in building the Royals to a football power. His teams
accumulated a record of twenty-seven wins and fourteen losses over
the five year period, with twenty-one of the wins coming in the last
twenty-five games.
Yet, Halleen is the first to recognize the catalytic nature of his
coaching: "Our win-loss record is only a means to the end of building
solid Christian gentlemen."
He reminisced to the fail of 1962 as "the year we built so many
things — spirit, self-respect, and an enthusiasm for winning. The 1962
club won without the ability and tradition of winning."
Halleen's teams quickly came to dominate the newly formed Pioneer
Conference, winning the championship each of the first two years.
The Royals' national image became more visible with numerous indi-vidual
awards, Ray Sheppard received the Williamson Poll's Little All
American Honorable Mention Award at tackle the fall of 1961.
Jim Nelson followed with an Honorable Mention and then a first
team berth at fullback the following season. Duane Gibson of last
season's club was named to a First Team end spot in the National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics District 13 ratings.
He attributes much of his teams' success to the dedication and
hard work of his assistant coaches: Philip Carlson, Dave Cox, Bob
Smith, Stu Luckman, Jim Nelson, Ray Sheppard, and Paul Evan. Many
of these were former players who stayed on after their career.

Fahs Views Implications
Of Recent Love Seminars
by Dr. Ivan Fahs
Dr. Fahs, Associate Professor of Sociology at Bethel College,
was one of the faculty leaders in the recent Sex, Love and Marriage
discussions held Monday evenings during March.
Possibly the most heartening thing about the recent semi-nar
series, "Sex, Love and Marriage," is the fact that it was
student-initiated. The planning committee started early, at-tempted
some plans which eventually did not materialize, co-ordinated
items with the CLARION; coordinated still more
with the Book Store, with the print shop, housemothers, pro-fessors
and other relevant campus personnel. Ron Nelson and
Dick Schultz, who did the lion's share of the work, deserve
our thanks.
Student life at Bethel is latently concerned with romance
and its implications. Given Bethel's hesitancy to become in-volved
in the morass of legalism (we do not require boys and
girls to be chaperoned while they play ping-pong), students of
a romantic turn are left with a fair amount of personal freedom.
Are Bethel students responsible in using this freedom?
When any community has a minimum of legality, values
are ordinarily dependent on the quality of people who live
together. Clearly, at Bethel each community member has
a Christ-given quality of goodness not his own. At least the
Admissions Committee is supposed to give entrance only
to those who know Christ in a personal way.
The intriguing possibility of one thousand plus people
living together as Christ would have them to live is the ideal
of the Bethel community — intriguing, if utopian. The potential
to be a Christian community is still here.
On the side of realism, however, Bethel community mem-bers
are healthy, red-blooded humans whose glands are every
bit as urgent as those in any homo sapiens. As much as we
would like to believe that Friday night dates are utilized dis-cussing
creative ways of implementing Christ's Great Com-mission
or what C. Wright Mill's White Collar means for the
Christian, we must reckon with courtship as a time when young
men and women are exploring each other as prospective mar-riage
partners — who's kidding whom?
In such a crucial relationship there are imponderables,
mysteries, frustrations; there is personal fulfillment, satis-faction,
and praise to God. The Bethel student has freedom
to commit sin on the one hand and the freedom to find a
love relationship which is righteous and fine on the other.
If the seminars sensitized us to these realities and if they
urged Bethel students to draw on Christ's strength, then they
have helped us find a more excellent way.
Contemporary Seminary Instruction
Focuses on Expanding World Needs
by J. David Patterson
The desert, burning, scorched by
the blistering rays of the sun
couldn't be drier than Monday's
student senate meeting.
In keeping with the metaphor,
a few drops of moisture were seen
in the form of a motion by Bill
Madsen calling for a committee
to regulate the scheduling of cam-pus
events, a report on the library
Dear Editor:
Recently there has been some
discussion among students as to
the value of the "counseling ser-vices"
here at Bethel. Here, for
what it may be worth, is my own
opinion: We need a clearly-defined
counseling center, whose rights and
limitations are established a n d
whose personnel are individuals
demonstrably qualified to deal with
personal problems in the context
of adequate time and proper set-ting.
I will not deny that the present
"catch-as-catch-can" counseling has
had some real value in certain
given instances. Yet much i m -
provement is desperately called
for. Yes, we see much dedicated
and warm-hearted effort on the
part of present personnel in their
dealings with students' problems.
Yet there is a lack, a lack felt
among students very widely, of
any real place to take on e's
situation and a comment by Dr.
Dalton just before adjournment.
Madsen's motion allows for the
instituting of a joint student-facul-ty
committee consisting of repre-sentatives
from the drama, music,
and athletic departments, the cam-pus
pastor, the Senate's campus co-ordinator
and an administration,
representative who shall chair the
committee. According to the
troubles. When campus aid is
sought, it is often done so in a
spirit of caution—due to scholastic
administrational cons iderations,
religious implications present in
certain problems, etc. And this
"puts the squelch" on the coun-seling
done in many instances.
I cannot, for the sake of persons
involved, illustrate this lack in
terms of specific instances where
inadequate or superficial counsel
has merely aggravated a problem,
driven a student into that heinous
sin of hypocrisy, or had no effect
whatever. I am thus wide open to
charges of shooting off my mouth;
and this is OK. Perhaps the value
of this lir note is not so much
that it speaks the final truth ex
cathedra, but rather that it points
up an issue which should be given
its due attention. What do other
Bethelites think about this?
Sincerely,
Edward M. Holden

breathless. The world is also ex-ploding
in the tensions of inter-national
strife and in domestic
misunderstanding, distrust a n d
violence. Another obvious area of
explosion is in the multiplying
growth of population, while still
a further one is in the increasing
prevalence of personality malad-justment.
It is in this kind of world that
seminary training is crucial. It is
here that we study the "Word of
God" in its broadest sense. And
that is what this exploding world
needs. God has spoken and desires
to continue to speak. He has acted
and desires to continue to act. His
speaking and His acting must be
through the meditation of men who
understand His Word and H i s
world. That is the task of the
Seminary.
Seminary training is desperately
relevant because it majors in pre-paring
better men rather than dis-seminating
better methods. T h e
significant accomplishments in his-tory
have always been dependent
on the work of capable persons.
Whenever God has acted in the
history of mankind for man's bene-fit,
He has done so through well
prepared and dedicated men. In
motion the committee will be re-sponsible
for the scheduling of all
campus events and will draw up
whatever policies for this schedul-ing
that it deems necessary. The
committee will also act as an
arbitrator in all conflicts in sched-uling
including both room reserva-tion
and calendar dates. After a
small amount of clarification the
motion was passed.
David Johnson presented his re-port
concerning problems in the
library. Johnson pointed out that
there were three areas in which
the problems existed: loud talking,
library being understaffed a n d
theft of books. Dr. Fagerstrom was
consulted in the matter and ex-plained
that the staff is willing
to use high school discipline mea-sures
if necessary but would choose
to allow the students to handle this
problem, hopefully by being quiter.
Fagerstrom went on to say that
new staff members were being
added and the theft problem was
not that severe. Johnson recom-mended
that the senate not take
any action.
Dr. Dalton asked if the off the
record portion of the meeting
couldn't be put in the minutes
since some of the most significant
discussion comes at this time. This
is worth noting, senators.
the light of this the Seminary has
prepared its curriculum, chooses
its faculty and conducts its pro-gram.
The curriculum is built on the
basis of two-thirds core or required
courses and one-third advanced
level courses. The core courses are
well-balanced among three major
divisions of Seminary study:
Sources or biblical studies, Inter-pretation
or theological and his-torical
studies, and Application or
the practical fields. That balance
helps students face the vital ques-tions
related to the Bible, "What
did it mean when it was given?"
and "What does it mean for us
today?" The gap between those
two questions must be bridged be-fore
we can have a relevant Word
from God. Seminary studies aid
men to bridge that significant gap.
Advance studies are then taken
with the interests of the student
in mind. A man may major in one
of six deparments: the Biblical,
Old Testament, New Testament,
Historical - Theological, Religious
Education or Preaching. Within
the Historical-Theological a man
may place strong emphasis o n
course work in Missions. Each man

Concern Over Red Influence
T h e Johnson administration,
deeply engaged in a struggle with
the Ku Klux Klan and other segre-gationist
forces, is at the same
is different, and each one has
special interests and abilities. In
order for a man to be best pre-pared
to be "the man of God"
communicating a relevant Word
from God in our exploding world,
his God-given interests and abili-ties
must be developed to the
fullest extent. The Seminary cur-riculum
provides for that.
But that is not all. The pedago-gical
methods that are emerging
in Seminary training, as well as
the facilities on the new campus,
are such as to develop the self-reliant
student. The individual re-search
and study possibilities as
well as the community life with
every possibility of stimulating in-teraction
and dialogue will aid a
man to become a significant wit-ness
for Jesus Christ in a world
that desperately needs to hear the
Good News. That self-reliance, in
the good sense of dependence up-on
the Lord for the proper use of
God-given ability, is further en-hanced
by a well planned and
supervised field education pro-gram.
Seminary training is rele-vant
for our day in a far deeper
sense than any other field of study.

Following is a partial text of the convocation
address delivered by Lynn Kastner, director of
the Minnesota branch of the American Civil Liber-ties
Union on Friday, March 19.
Much of the social ferment, litigation and contro-versy
throughout our hisory and especially today
centers around the question—whose constitutional
rights are these? Should an atheist have freedom
from belief? Does the dope peddler or a murderer
have the right to suppress an illegal confession? Does
a Communist or an anarchist or a Nazi have the
right to express his views publicly? These questions
cause the most sincere to shrink from defending
the principles in our Bill of Rights and cause many
others who are sincere to attack these very principles
in the Bill of Rights.
In the areas of our country where segregation
and discrimination of minority groups and persons
are in the open and entrenched in the law, citizens
and officials recoil from the exercise of these basic
rights of minority groups.
1 he Civil Rights Revolution not only confronts
white Americans with their attitudes but also
tests and brings into focus our constitutional free-doms.
Many people today express impatience with
the means and methods of protest and many more
view this revolution solely through the events of
recent months and years. These people may not re-member
the fact that slavery was a legal institution
in this country for 72 years after the ratification
of the Bill of Rights.
During these years our law and courts considered
the Negro a chattel and enforced against him the
property rights of his masters. Our American heritage
of public protest is a fitting background from which
to evaluate the recent events. The Declaration of
Independence reminds us that this nation came into
being as an active protest against discriminatory
treatment of the colonies by the British government.
It is not surprising, then, that we find through-out
our turbulent history numerous examples of
public and even violent protest either against govern-mental
action or to achieve the creation of new
public policy. The formation of a government of the
United States followed such public protest as the
Boston Tea Party and those of earlier movements in
Virginia and the Carolinas.
As we all know, the 1954 decision in the school
segregation cases, Brown vs, Board of Education in
1954, marked the beginning of the protests currently
developing. The many other cases, striking out of
our institutions of society the legal foundations of
segregation and discrimination and the building
of a sound legal foundation of equal opportunity
and justice in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and,
hopefully, in the voting act of 1965 and executive
action to the same end has insured that the march
of progress toward equal opportunity will not stop
again until it is fully realized by all of our citizens.
With this history the courts have had a wealth
of experience and opportunity to define the protected
and proscribed limits of public protest within the
freedom of expression protected by the First Amend-ment.
— However, it is also important to realize
that the right to public assembly may be regulated
to protect substantial rights and not just to avoid in-convenience.
So police or other officials may not
prohibit assembly just to avoid public unrest or
even violent opposition.
We must remember that not. all bystanders are
innocent and many who gather at the site of civil
rights assembly or protest gather for the purpose
of opposition. The police and officials then have
an affirmative duty to protect those engaged in
lawful protest.
In such demonstrations and other forms of public
protest, the question of responsibility becomes
quite clear. That they are in the pursuit of freedom
there is little debate. The bounds of protected
activity are the limits within which participants
can act responsibly. The fact that such demonstra-tions
have most often occurred in areas where
freedom is denied explains many of the cases
dealing with the failure of the public and police
officials to meet their responsibilities in a free
society.

discussions are directed toward
two types of students: those who
have chosen a major and are seek-ing
information concerning oppor-tunities,
advantages, disadvantages,
qualifications, educational require-ments,
etc., and those seeking gen-eral
knowledge about a particular
field as a career possibility.
The program was enthusiastical-ly
received after its inception last
year. Students indicated their ap-preciation
for an opportunity to
personally discuss vocational goals
with someone in their chosen
profession. The doctors who at-tended
felt the session worthwhile
enough to schedule a subsequent
social gathering for Bethel pre-med
students.
The format of the program is an
informal discussion type. It will
fulfill a twofold objective by pro-viding
counseling services and by
acquainting students with the alum-ni
and some of its members. Res-ervations
for the alumni counsel-ing
sessions should be made with
Dwight Jessup in the Public Re-lations
office.

This certaintly is true in Selma,
Alabama. Here the failure of the
police to abide by the existing
constitutional standard and guar-antee
protection to the demon-strators
is clearly an example.
We must remember that many
of the situations where public pro-test
have exceeded the bounds of
protected activity were preceeded
by a pattern of denial of freedom
which lawful demonstrations or
other legal actions have failed to
alleviate.
The radical right openly attacks
the Bill of Rights in many in-stances.
Open attack is open dis-cussion,
and open discussion can
call for the dialogue which we
need and which we will be called
upon every day in some way to
defend the Bill of Rights. So this
is not our greatest threat. These
rights cannot be voted upon; al-though
they can, if enough votes
are gained.
But they cannot be voted upon
in an ordinary sense, although we
have seen in our legislative halls
the first attempt in history, recent-ly,
to amend the Bill of Rights.
No, I think the greatest threat
comes from not knowing what our
rights are and not exercising them
when they are threatened.

Each Spring the Koffee Kup
basketball game is played to bene-fit
Bethel students participating
in the Minnesota Project for Amity
among Nations (SPAN). This sum-mer
some fifty SPAN'ers from ten
Minnesota colleges will visit Chile,
Yugoslavia, Egypt and Thailand,
largely as a result of similar stu-dent
fund-raising activities around
the state.
SPAN groups, usually composed
of twelve to fifteen undergradu-ates
plus a faculty advisor, spend
eight to ten weeks in their coun-try
living with native families,
interviewing officials and gather-ing
research data. Upon their re-turn
to the States, SPAN'ers spend
seven months writing a lengthy
thesis on the basis of information
and experiences gleaned abroad.
Bethel College has one SPAN'er
this year, Bill Swenson, junior
social science major who will
visit Thailand for ten weeks dur-ing
the summer. Joan McNaugh-ton,
Bethel alumna of the Class
of 1964, and David Beck pre-the

ceded him to Finland and India
respectively, since Bethel joined
the program in 1962.
Beck, junior political science ma-jor,
is now in India researching
a project on village life in a nine-month
program sponsored by the
University of Wisconsin. He will
complete a SPAN-length paper as
well as requirements for the B.S.
degree upon his return to Bethel
this fall.
Swenson, present editor of the
CLARION, will research a thesis
on government and communica-tions
while in Bangkok. He will
travel with other SPAN'ers through
Europe and the Middle East to
complete a world trip before re-turning
for the fall semester.
The twelve Thailand SPAN'ers
were selected from eight Minne-sota
colleges and universities in
April of 1964. They have been
meeting i n weekly seminars
throughout the academic year
under the guidance of Reidar
Dittmann, faculty advisor from
St. Olaf College, for advance stu-dy
in Thai language, history, and
culture. The SPAN Office is
presently planning to mold the
experiences of the Thailand
SPAN'ers into its first 16 mm
color film for educational and
publicity purposes.
The purpose of the SPAN organi-zation
is to contribute to interna-tional
understanding through spon-sorship
of individual research pro-jects
and international living. The
motto of the group reflects well
this goal: "It is better to light one
candle than curse the darkness."

The Christian faith is a religion of personal commitment. In
somewhat the manner that a woman is committed to a man in marriage,
the Christian is committed to Jesus Christ. And in our western society,
a woman makes a very personal decision to commit herself in love to
a certain man. And whatever these may be, the woman has very impor-tant
reasons for this decision.
The Apostle Peter says that we should be prepared to give a reason
for our faith. Pressed for reasons, a woman may give many and varied
reasons, or she may simply say, "I love him." But, either way she
always will say she loves him. Now, really, do we love Jesus Christ?
Let us apply this question to our relation with our denomination.
We are Conference Baptists (or CMA., Evangelical Free, etc. You apply
whichever tag is attached to you). Now, most of us, if honest, would
have to state that we are Conference Baptists because our parents
were Conference Baptists, although a thorough study of the New
Testament would lead one to believe that this is not quite the type
of reason the Apostle had in mind.
Our tradition is one that emphasizes individuality. We proclaim
that each person must make his own decision to commit himself to
Christ. But if we examine ourselves, we find that our churches give
years of rigid training. We baptize hundreds of children and teenagers
because, somehow it's the thing to do. This baptism results in a mildly
changed person, who, because of family and church, is able to function
as a "Christian." But, any radical change, any personal stance against
the evils of our culture is rare.
Oh, we often stop dancing and smoking, and drinking is always
out. But is it because we love this person Jesus Christ? Come on,
let's face facts, and let's try to get the older generation fo face
facts. It's because we were told not to do these things, and most of us
never really were tempted otherwise, that is, while we are at home.
And most of us never really thought much about "loving" Jesus Christ.
Maybe teenage Evangelicals should be presented with a choice,
not only between Christianity and non-Christian positions, but be-tween
the various forms of Christianity. Of course, this can never
happen, but we might consider lowering the voice with which we
proclaim freedom of choice and castigate those who readily receive
the children of the church.
Maybe we need to search the Scriptures and confirm our earlier
decision. We are older now, and need a more mature concern about
the meaning of Christian faith.

The state tourney basketball fever ran rampant throughout
the state as the final eight teams crowded into Williams Arena for
the semifinals. The first upset came as Bemidji knocked off ranked
Henning, but from then on Thursday's action was not unusual. Luverne
downed St. Paul Central (much to Webster Muck's chagrin), Faribault
beat Virginia City, and the oddsmakers' favorite son candidate, Minne-tonka,
knocked off Franklin.
The Wrecked Room in Edgren Dormitory bulged with well over
one hundred students on Thursday and Friday, practically all of whom
were bugged with "under-dog" fever. Psychologists often struggle with
this concept, but it was evident that all the rooters around the boob-tube
were pulling for upsets for no special reason. "Ah, I just like to
see the little schools win." "Look how short they are, compared to those
other big lugs." "City schools win the championship? Never."
The anti-climactic action (?) of the final game was a sad dis-illusionment
until Minnetonka emerged the victor. Instead of one's
mind rejoicing in the victory, thoughts were nostalgically turned back
to all the teams that lost along the way, and particularly to those teams
that were great, but simply had a cold night: Luverne, St. Paul Centra,
Wilmar, and others come to the fore. Certainly, if an elimination system
which would give teams a second chance could be worked out, the result
would be a better caliber of ball in the final games.
Times, scheduling, etc. make such a proposition impossible. But there
are still a few of us ancient cronies, sitting around clicking our dentures,
who remember when our old high school team was beat out by a spirited,
less able team, only later to get mauled by a team our school had
beaten by thirty points twice during the regular season.
Another point in fact is that the consolation games should be omit-ted
and in their stead, equal trophies should be presented to the
third and fourth place teams. This procedure would eliminate the
necessity of an athlete playing a half-hearted game. Luverne and St.
Paul Central, two excellent ball clubs, were simply a disappointment
in the consolation games — as were their opponents.

Dave Cox, considering the fine

With positions still being up for
